T-Mobile UK and Starbucks Coffee Company UK have now extended the national rollout of T-Mobile HotSpot to provide wi-fi access at a further 98 Starbucks coffeehouses. This brings the total to 154 locations in 35 major towns and cities throughout the UK.

The T-Mobile HotSpot offering in Starbucks has had a strong customer response and this led to the decision for broader deployment. This continued rollout provides customers of Starbucks and T-Mobile access to the W-LAN service in areas including Canterbury, Inverness, Lincoln and Reading.

Jay Saw, responsible for T-Mobile HotSpot in the UK, commented: "The Starbucks alliance is key to T-Mobile’s drive in delivering a comprehensive network of hot spots for our business customers in the most convenient locations."
